Definitions
- German Patent Application 10 2013 224 111.9 which was filed on Nov. 26, 2013 in Germany.
- the aforesaid German Patent Application provides the basis for a claim of priority of invention for the invention described and claimed herein below under 35 U.S.C. 119 (a) to (d).
- the invention relates to sodium-resistant joining glasses, which can be used to produce joints with ceramics, for example alumina (also referred to as Al 2 O 3 , alumina ceramic or Al 2 O 3 ceramic), and/or with metals and/or combinations of both.
- alumina also referred to as Al 2 O 3 , alumina ceramic or Al 2 O 3 ceramic
- the invention as well relates to the application of the sodium-resistant joining glasses.
- Sodium-resistant joining glasses are joining materials which can withstand in particular liquid sodium and/or sodium vapour and in this way are suitable for the production of joints which are exposed, for example, to liquid sodium and/or sodium vapour and/or other aggressive sodium compounds and/or sodium-containing media.
- Sodium-resistant joining glasses of this type are of interest, for example, for the production of energy storage and energy generation units, in which liquid sodium and/or sodium compounds are used as the electrolyte or cooling medium.
- energy generation units are electrochemical cells such as batteries as well as nuclear reactors, especially within the class of Fast Breeder Reactors, Fast Neutron Reactors, Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactors and/or Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactors.
- the joining glasses useable in those reactors could be advantageously applied in technical components within and/or connected to those reactors and being in contact with said sodium and/or sodium compounds.
- Such technical components are especially feedthrough-devices, which are used to supply sensors and/or actuators and/or electric motors e.g. in electric pumps with electrical power and/or steering signals.
- Another application area of the sodium-resistant joining glasses being subject to this invention are installations for the disposal of toxic materials, in which sodium compounds and/or sodium vapour and/or liquid sodium might be produced within the process.
- electrochemical storage and energy generation technology has gained considerable interest in recent years. It can be employed in this respect in the field of electromobility, for local power supply, as an emergency power system and, primarily on account of the increased shares of renewable energies, for stabilizing the network system.
- Li-ion batteries (LIB) being those which are discussed to the greatest extent.
- a further class of batteries is represented by the high-temperature sodium batteries (Sodium Beta Battery, SBB).
- SBB uses liquid sodium as the negative electrode at elevated temperatures, usually of more than 250° C.
- Na/S sodium-sulphur battery
- sulphur as the positive electrode.
- the other is the sodium-metal chloride battery, also referred to as ZEBRA® battery, which uses metal chlorides such as nickel or iron chloride as the positive electrode and sodium tetrachloroaluminate (NaAlCl 4 ) as the liquid electrolyte.
- metal chlorides such as nickel or iron chloride as the positive electrode
- sodium tetrachloroaluminate NaAlCl 4
- Both types have the common feature that they use a sodium ion-conducting membrane consisting of ⁇ - or ⁇ ′′-Al 2 O 3 and a housing part consisting of ⁇ -Al 2 O 3 , and the latter can if appropriate additionally be connected to a metallic cover.
- alumina used in the present description, or synonymously alumina ceramic or synonymously Al 2 O 3 or likewise synonymously Al 2 O 3 ceramic, includes in particular the embodiments ⁇ - and/or ⁇ - and/or ⁇ ′′-alumina.
- the use of the term “alumina” also does not signify any limitation to the degree of purity and therefore the content of Al 2 O 3 in the Al 2 O 3 ceramic and/or the component in question.
- the joint between the components made of ceramic, in particular alumina, or a further metal component represents a critical component in an electrochemical cell, since it determines the service life. If leakages occur in this region, the liquid sodium can come into contact with the atmosphere and begin to burn.
- the object of the joining glass as the joining material here is to achieve a hermetically tight join which lasts for the entire service life of the battery. This can be achieved in particular by a good adaptation of the coefficient of thermal expansion of all the materials involved, which makes the joint tolerant to the operating states, and also a very good chemical resistance of the glass to all active components, without impairing the function thereof.
- a glass with a high silicon content comprising more than 40% by weight SiO 2 and less than 25% by weight B 2 O 3 is used on the metal salt side, and a borate glass with a very low silicon content of less than 20% by weight SiO 2 and more than 35% by weight B 2 O 3 is used on the sodium side.
- GB 2207545 A describes the use of a borosilicate glass 8245 from Schott AG as a joining glass for a Na/S battery.
- This glass has a very good chemical stability with respect to the media of the Na/S battery, but can only be hermetically joined durably to a limited extent with alumina owing to the low coefficient of linear thermal expansion ⁇ 20-300° C. of 5.2 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 K ⁇ 1 .
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,268,313 A describes a borosilicate glass for use in an Na/S battery.
- this glass comprises in total at least 6% by weight of the alkaline earth metal oxides CaO, SrO and BaO. These components are beneficial to the glass formation and can improve the flow behaviour, but can reduce the performance of the active components by ion transfer with the electrolyte, in particular of an SBB.
- a joining glass containing at most 25% by weight B 2 O 3 for an energy storage device is described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,034,457 B2.
- the limitation of the content of 8 2 O 3 to said upper limit is explained by the fact that the joining glass would otherwise be subjected to excessive attack by adsorbed water.
- U.S. Pat. No. 8,043,986 B2 includes a joining glass for an SBB comprising at least 0.1 to 10% by weight ZrO 2 .
- Zirconium oxide is used in this document for improving the chemical resistance.
- it also leads to a greater tendency toward phase separation and crystallization and also, on account of the high raw material costs, to a reduction in the efficiency of the glassmaking process.
- a joining glass which is suitable for producing joints with metals and/or ceramics which have a very good resistance to molten metal salts and to sodium melts, liquid sodium and/or sodium vapour and/or aggressive sodium compounds.
- Suitable ceramics to be joined are, in particular, alumina and/or NASICON (sodium super ionic conductor) and suitable metals are especially steel and/or alloys.
- the object is achieved by the joining glass, the joint, the electrochemical energy storage and/or energy generation unit or units comprising the joining glass, and the feedthrough-device and the use as per the claims. Preferred embodiments become apparent from the claims which depend on the main claim.
- a joining glass according to the invention comprises 40% to 50% SiO 2 and more than 25% up to 30% B 2 O 3 . This combination influences, in particular, the coefficient of thermal expansion and at the same time controls the flow behaviour. According to the invention, the joining glass furthermore contains 5% to 15% Na 2 O and 17% to 25% Al 2 O 3 . These components can be used to set, in particular, the good chemical resistance of the joining glass.
- the joining glasses according to the invention comprises, optionally and in total, less than 2% alkaline earth metal oxides MO.
- MO represents CaO, SrO and/or BaO, which can be present in the joining glass individually or in any possible combination up to said limits of the total content.
- Alkaline earth metal oxides can have a positive effect on the flow behaviour of the glasses. Since they can reduce the performance of one of the active components through diffusion or ion transfer with the sodium ions of the electrolyte, the content thereof is reduced to a minimum according to the invention.
- the joining glass according to the invention is free of ZrO 2 , except for at most impurities.
- Impurities can be incorporated in the glass by contamination of the raw materials used for the glassmaking and/or by contamination and/or corrosion of the melting units used. Impurities of this nature generally do not exceed a proportion of 0.2% by weight, in particular 0.1% by weight. This of course also includes the complete freedom from ZrO 2 .
- the joining glasses according to the invention have a very good chemical resistance, even though ZrO 2 has been dispensed with to improve the chemical resistance.
- ZrO 2 can act as a crystallization nucleus, which promotes the crystallization during processing.
- Crystallization (including partial crystallization) of the joining glass according to the invention is undesirable, since the crystalline regions lead to difficulties in the production of the joint and/or can even cause leakages in the joint.
- the joining glass according to the invention is therefore particularly advantageously an amorphous glass, in particular without crystallized regions.
- the joining glasses according to the invention can advantageously be melted in a manner free from crystallization and segregation.
- a joining glass according to the invention comprises up to 5% ZnO and/or up to 5% TiO 2 and/or up to 5% SnO 2 and/or up to 15% MgO.
- These optional additional components can be present individually or in any desired combination in the joining glass. These components bring about in particular an improvement in the chemical resistance in the alkaline range.
- MgO is an optional component and might be comprised in the joining glass in order to adapt the thermal expansion of the joining glass to the joining partner. Usually an increased content of MgO leads to an increased coefficient of thermal expansion.
- MgO might be advantageously contained in the joining glass from 0- ⁇ 2%.
- the composition of the joining glass is selected within the limits indicated above such that the coefficient of linear thermal expansion ⁇ 20-300° C. in the temperature region from 20° C. to 300° C. of the joining glass has values of 5.5 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 K ⁇ 1 up to 10.5 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 K ⁇ 1 or even preferably from 5.5 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 K ⁇ 1 up to 8.5 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 K ⁇ 1 , very particularly preferably of 6.0 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 K ⁇ 1 up to 8.0 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 K ⁇ 1 .
- the joining glass can additionally contain up to 30% by volume of an oxidic filler, in particular of an inorganic oxide.
- an oxidic filler in particular of an inorganic oxide.
- These fillers can be used in particular for setting the thermal expansion behaviour and/or the corrosion resistance and/or the flow behaviour, the filler preferably being present in the form of particles and/or fibres.
- examples of such fillers are MgO, Al 2 O 3 and/or stabilized ZrO 2 .
- Those can be especially applied in order to adapt the thermal expansion of the joining glass and filler mixture to the thermal expansion of the metal joining partner.
- the filler materials usually are not part of the glass matrix, but are usually embedded therein as isolated component.
- the invention likewise encompasses a joint between a first joining component and a second joining component by means of a joining glass described above.
- a joining component is understood to mean any element which is connected with the joining glass.
- the joining glass in this case enters in particular into an integral bond with the respective joining component.
- An integral bond is distinguished by the fact that the bonding partners, here the respective joining component with the joining glass, are held together by atomic or molecular forces. This gives rise to non-releasable bonds which can only be separated by the destruction of the bonding means, here the joining glass.
- the joining glass is able to provide a hermetically tight joint between the joining components as the joining partners.
- the joint between the joining components is produced by the joining glass and is accordingly present at the joining area of the respective joining component which is bonded with the joining glass.
- the joining area is accordingly the region on the surface of the respective joining component which is in contact with the joining glass.
- the joining component can be bonded over its entire surface area, but also in any desired regions, to the joining glass and via the latter to the other joining component.
- the joining glass according to the invention is especially suitable for joining ceramics and/or metals. Accordingly, a joint according to the invention provides that the first joining component comprises a ceramic or a metal part at least at the joining area.
- the second joining component likewise comprises a ceramic or a metal at least at the joining area. Combinations of metal and ceramic are of course similarly possible and are encompassed by the invention.
- the second joining component can be a hybrid component composed of metal and ceramic in the region of the joint.
- the joining glass according to the invention provides joints between metal to metal or between ceramic to metal or between ceramic to ceramic or between metal or ceramic to a hybrid component comprising metal and ceramic.
- the joining glass according to the invention is suitable in particular for joining alumina, and therefore it provides a joint according to the invention in which the first joining component comprises alumina, in particular consists of alumina, at least at the joining area.
- the second joining component comprises a metal and alternatively or in combination alumina at least at the joining area.
- a joining component in the form of a hybrid component composed of metal and alumina in the region of the joint is obtained.
- the alumina of the first joining component comprises ⁇ -alumina or ⁇ -alumina or ⁇ ′′-alumina, in particular if it consists thereof. It is particularly preferable that the alumina of the second joining component, if it consists of or comprises alumina at least at the joining area, is likewise ⁇ -alumina or ⁇ -alumina or ⁇ ′′-alumina. This does not mean, however, that the embodiment of the alumina of the first joining component has to match the embodiment of the alumina of the second joining component; instead, it can be advantageous if the embodiments of the alumina in the first and second joining components are different, e.g. if the first joining component comprises ⁇ -alumina and the second joining component comprises ⁇ -alumina or ⁇ ′′-alumina. This configuration is used in particular in SBB and is of interest therefor.
- the ceramic is selected, instead of alumina, from the class of NASICON (Na super ionic conductor) ceramics, typically of the A x B y (PO 4 ) 3 type with an alkali metal ion A (e.g. Na) and a multivalent metal ion B (e.g. Fe, Cr, Ti). All of the embodiments mentioned are also possible with these types of ceramic.
- NASICON Na super ionic conductor
- joining components in housings of sensors and/or actuators which are exposed to aggressive media, in particular liquid sodium or sodium salts.
- Possible fields of use for these can be found, for example, in the synthesis of liquid sodium by the electrolysis of salt melts and also in the field of the cooling of breeder reactors with liquid sodium.
- the second joining component similarly preferably comprises a metal at least at the joining area. It is particularly preferable that this metal has a coefficient of linear thermal expansion ⁇ 20-300° C. which (in the same temperature range) is greater than or equal to the coefficient of linear thermal expansion ⁇ 20-300° C. of the ceramic, in particular of the alumina.
- the value of the coefficient of linear thermal expansion ⁇ 20-300° C. of this metal is more than 8 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 K ⁇ 1 .
- Examples of such preferred metals are high-grade steels, low-carbon steels and/or nickel alloys.
- the joint according to the invention makes it possible to produce electrochemical energy storage and/or energy generation units with an increased service life and/or increased efficiency. These are therefore likewise encompassed by the invention.
- electrochemical energy storage devices are storage batteries in charging mode
- electrochemical energy generation units are batteries or storage batteries in discharging mode.
- reactors for chemical and/or biochemical reactions in which the energy state is represented by the respective oxidation and reduction state of the reagents and products.
- an energy storage and/or energy generation unit according to the invention is a sodium-sulphur battery or sodium-metal chloride battery comprising a joint according to the invention.
- the joint according to the invention as well facilitates the production of feedthrough-devices, especially electric feedthrough-devices.
- An advantageous electric feedthrough-device comprises a metal carrier element, which is provided with a feedthrough-opening, and a metal functional element.
- the functional element is fixed within the feedthrough-opening by means of the described joining glass and electrically insulates the carrier element from the functional element. Thereby the feedthrough-opening is sealed, especially hermetically sealed.
- the joining glass according to the invention is used with very particular preference for producing sodium-sulphur batteries or sodium-metal chloride batteries, in particular for hermetically sealing the housing thereof and/or for closing off and/or bonding the membrane components in the electrolyte cells thereof.
- the bond can also be made with suitable carrier elements, etc.
- the feedthrough-device according to the invention can be most advantageously applied in installations for the disposal of toxic waste and/or nuclear reactors, especially fast breeding reactors.
- the application as electrical feedthrough-device for the containment of the reactor and/or as electric feedthrough-device for the cooling circuit predominantly benefits from the capabilities of the joining glass and/or the joining connection as described herein.
- the cooling circuit can comprise the primary and/or the secondary cooling circuit, which use liquid sodium as cooling medium, especially in fast breeding reactors.
- the feedthrough-device might be exposed to liquid sodium and/or sodium vapour and must be capable to withstand such permanent exposure or exposure due to emergency state situations.
- This feedthrough-device might be used to supply, for example, electric pumps and/or sensors within the cooling circuit with electric current and/or to lead signals out of sensors applied within or at the cooling circuit.
- Another advantageous application of the feedthrough-device is within the containment of the reactor, in order to connect the inside of the containment with the outside without allowing harmful media to pass through.
- the feedthrough-device can be exposed to liquid and/or vaporized sodium especially in emergency situations, whereby it is of upmost importance that the feedthrough-device reliably seals the containment.
- feedthrough-device Another beneficial application area of the feedthrough-device are installations for the disposal of toxic waste, for example such in which waste is burnt or destructed chemically, whereby aggressive sodium compounds and/or liquid sodium and/or sodium vapour might occur within the process.

- the joining component ( 2 ) shown with the joining glass ( 1 ) can produce joints with further joining components.
- the joining component ( 2 ) consists of ⁇ -alumina or ⁇ ′′-alumina or NASICON. As described, it is similarly possible for the alumina ( 2 ) of the joining component to be present only at those joining areas at which the bond is produced using the joining glass ( 1 ), and for the remaining regions of the joining component to consist of different materials.
- FIG. 1 b shows substantially the same joining component with a joining glass as FIG. 1 a , only that in this example the joining component ( 3 ) consists of ⁇ -alumina or comprises the latter at least at those joining areas at which the joining glass ( 1 ) is present. All further statements made in relation to FIG. 1 b are also applicable to FIG. 1 b.
- FIG. 2 a shows the section through a joint which is formed by a component assembly, bonded by the joining glass ( 1 ), consisting of the first joining component ( 2 ) and the second joining component ( 3 ).
- the object shown is in principle a combination of FIGS. 1 a and 1 b .
- the material of the first joining component ( 2 ) is again ⁇ -alumina or ⁇ ′′-alumina and the material of the second joining component ( 3 ) is ⁇ -alumina.
- the joining glass ( 1 ) bonds integrally to the surfaces of the joining components ( 2 , 3 ) at the joining areas and can thereby produce a hermetic and durable bond between the joining components ( 2 , 3 ).
- FIG. 2 b shows the section through a similar embodiment to FIG. 2 a , only that the first joining component is composed of ⁇ -alumina or ⁇ ′′-alumina ( 2 ) and ⁇ -alumina ( 3 ).

- the housing ( 4 ) usually consists of metal, e.g. of a high-grade steel, a nickel alloy or a low-carbon steel, and the cover ( 3 ) consists of alumina, in particular ⁇ -alumina.
- the joining glass ( 1 ) according to the invention reliably and durably produces a tight bond between the two joining components, cover ( 3 ) and housing ( 4 ), and therefore the contents of the ZEBRA® battery are closed off securely in the housing.
- the intermediate space between the inner wall of the housing ( 4 ) and the outer wall of the membrane ( 2 ) is filled by liquid sodium ( 11 ), which forms the anode.
- the inner space of the hollow-cylindrical membrane ( 2 ) is filled, for example, with sodium tetrachloroaluminate as the electrolyte ( 10 ) and acts as the cathode.
- the semi-permeable membrane ( 2 ) consisting of ⁇ -alumina or ⁇ ′′-alumina is permeable only to Na ions. It is bonded to the cover ( 3 ) by the joining glass ( 1 ).
- the membrane ( 2 ) represents, so to speak, the first joining component and the cover ( 3 ) represents the second joining component in the general principle of the joint as described above.
- the joining glass ( 1 ) is impermeable to the electrolyte ( 10 ) and the liquid sodium ( 11 ), since otherwise electrolyte ( 10 ) and/or the liquid sodium ( 11 ) might be contaminated by the respective other substance, and accordingly the battery might be destroyed or at least the capacity thereof might be reduced.
- the cover ( 3 ) itself is an electrical insulator, and therefore an electrode ( 52 ) is required in order to make it possible to connect the battery with anode and cathode to an electric circuit.
- the metal rod ( 52 ) penetrates through the cover ( 3 ) through the sleeve ( 51 ).
- FIG. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of the ZEBRA® battery shown in FIG. 3 .

- FIG. 5 b shows the top view of the feedthrough-device ( 20 ) according to FIG. 5 a .
- the functional element ( 31 ) is arranged concentrically within the feedthrough opening.
- This geometry is usually applied in compression seals, in which the thermal expansion of the carrier element ( 30 ) is larger than the thermal expansion of the joining glass ( 1 ).
- the carrier element ( 30 ) so to say shrinks onto the joining glass and thereby generates a compressive stress towards the joining glass ( 1 ).
- This compressive stress enhances the mechanical force which is required to push the joining glass out of the feedthrough opening and thereby enhances the mechanical stability of the whole feedthrough-device ( 20 ).
- the feedthrough-device ( 20 ) as shown in FIGS. 5 a and 5 b represents a typical device of the class of the so called large feedthrough-devices.
- FIG. 6 shows the section through an alternative embodiment of a feedthrough-device ( 20 ) with a plurality of access opening within a carrier element ( 30 ).
- This so called planar element has dimensions which are wider than high.

- the containment ( 80 ) of an energy generation device is shown, for example a reactor, specifically a nuclear reactor or an installation for the disposal of toxic waste. Those have to be safely encapsulated within the containment ( 80 ), also in emergency and failure state situations.
- a feedthrough-device ( 20 ) according to the present disclosure is advantageously used in order to provide contact with the generator and/or devices within the containment. Such devices are e.g. devices to monitor the operation conditions of the generator and/or to steer the reactor or other devices.
- an energy generation device ( 81 ) such as a reactor is shown.
